Mongolian beef is thin slices of beef that are simmered in soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Cornstarch helps make the sauce thickens to coat the beef. It has a sweet, spicy, and savory flavor. 

I live in a town that is limited to good Chinese food. This is so easy to make. Homemade is better than takeout. My husband approves!
